Will it be possible to port WM on Droid?

Just throwing it out there...
I've seen it the other way and just wonder if it will be possible to have Windows Mobile on Moto Droid?

Anybody has any insights?

well it's possible, but anyone that would actually know how to do it, I would say, would never ever want to because it wouldn't be worth all the work it would take.

It's definitely possible.

I think thats actually a really good idea. Why not? Even if you like Android better than WM, whats wrong with having options? I would rather the phone be able to do something (even if I didnt use it often) rather than not be able to do it at all.

I'm acctually holding my new "Moto Droid 2.0" in my hands.. I don't see why you'd want to put Windows on the phone its self.. maybe on an SD card sure. But so far I'm highly impressed with the easy of use and the speed of 2.0 over WM 6.5 on my Imagio

I'm pretty sure thats what he meant. Kinda like how Vogue users can run "Android" over WM from the SD card. On my Vogue I have WM, Android, and the iPhone OS. (by iPhone OS I mean Ultimate Launch since basically they are both just app launchers

)

Well, i was just thinking that since android doesn't have that much apps yet maybe its possible to run WM (either from SD or Virtual environment or whatever) so one can use all the apps available for WM.

But if there is gonna be a lot of comparable apps coming out for Droid than I wouldn't care about porting WM to Droid myself.

I've been looking into Android quite a bit lately and I havent been able to find an app that I use regularly in WM that Android doesnt have as well. Thats just for me though, obviously that'll be different depending on what apps you use. I would still just want to be able to boot it from the SD card though. Why make a choice and limit yourself to just one when you could have both (assuming that this is even possible lol)
